William Scott Cricketer
William Ernest Newnham Scott (31 May 1903 – 6 August 1989) was an English cricketer. Scott was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. Scott had been invited by Hampshire for a trial in 1925. A hand injury prevented him from playing for the county that season. Instead Scott made his first-class debut for Hampshire against Essex. Scott made five appearances for Hampshire during the 1927 County Championship, with his final first-class match for the county coming against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. Scott died at Newport on the Isle of Wight on August 6, 1989. At the time of his death, Scott was the only man born on the island to play first-class cricket.
